TROUBLESHOOTING AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Verify Functionality

Pressing the power button should activate the LCD and provide a real-time PPFD reading. Direct the sensor head

toward a light source and verify the PPFD reading responds. Increase and decrease the distance from the sensor to

the light source to verify that the reading changes proportionally (decreasing PPFD with increasing distance and

increasing PPFD with decreasing distance). Blocking all radiation from the sensor should force the PPFD reading to

zero.

Battery Life

When the meter is maintained properly the coin cell battery (CR2320) should last for many months, even after

continuous use. The low battery indicator will appear in the upper left hand corner of the LCD display when the

battery voltage drops below 2.8 V DC. The meter will still function correctly for some time, but once the battery is

drained the pushbuttons will no longer respond and any logged measurements will be lost.

Pressing the power button to turn off the meter will actually put it in sleep mode, where there is still a slight

amount of current draw. This is necessary to maintain the logged measurements in memory. Therefore, it is

recommended to remove the battery when storing the meter for many months at a time, in order to preserve

battery life.

Low-Battery Error after Battery Replacement

A master reset will usually correct this error, please see the master reset section for details and cautions. If a

master reset does not remove the low battery indicator, please double check that the voltage of your new battery

is above 2.8 V, this is the threshold for the indicator to turn on.

Master Reset

If a meter ever becomes non-responsive or experiences anomalies, such as a low battery indicator even after

replacing the old battery, a master reset can be performed that may correct the problem. Note that a master reset

will erase all logged measurements from memory.

Step 1: press the power button so that the LCD display is activated.

Step 2: Slide the battery out of the holder, which will cause the LCD display to fade out.

Step 3: After a few seconds, slide the battery back into the holder.

The LCD display will flash all segments and then show a revision number (e.g. "R1.0"). This indicates the master

reset was performed and the display should return to normal.
